but we begin with paul henderson. tell us what the judge told the jury. >> this was kind of a unique dynamic. you had the lead prosecutor in this case having an entire night to really prepare a rebuttal and she did use two ours or so to address all of these charges to a jury that was pressure today having had the entire night to allow what we said in course yesterday, she went through charge by charge. the most contentious issue regarding a citizen's arrest and if it was applicable in this case. and whether or not the language was being interpreted properly. there would have to be a crime and someone trying to escape in that moment. for them to be under the court of law allowed to pursue and detain ahmaud arbery. there was a couple exchanges that were played in court that was fascinating. one was a 911 call that came from gregory mcmichael, but not at the start of the ppursuit. the emergency was that there is a black man running through the neighborhood here. another exchange after the fact was do you know that he bro

david henderson, cnbc contributor, david, traffic mcmichael admitted, that arbery did not threatening him, but he's claiming self-defense. >> they just had to raise enough evidence about it to get an instruction to be sent to the jury so they can argue it during closing argument i think today's testimony went as well as it could for mcmichael, which is not to say it went well the prosecution punched a ton of holes in the argument. >> looking ahead to monday, how do you expect both sides to handle closing >> i think they'll have closing arguments largely as we would anticipate, based on everything else that's happened in the case so far they chased it on down, did it without any justification and they committed murder, and they have a very strong case there. what the defense is going to do is try to appeal to that one juror who thinking, you know what i think he had it coming as terrible as that sounds, when the story first broke, many people in the community were saying unspeakable things like that. >> david henderson, thank you. >>> another courthouse 1,000 miles north, day three of
